Baltics and West Russia offroad trip

Snafu2 · 04-30-2013, 12:06 AM

We're planning a 6-8 week trip leaving the UK and taking a trip around the Baltics including in to Russia. I'd like as much dirt road riding as possible, what are the chances of that?
We're using a rally prepped BMW Dakar and a 640 Adventure, we're not afraid to use them, I've considered Nordcapp as a destination but it's not that important.
Has anyone done this sort of trip? All I can find is mainly road biased trips which is understandable considering the milages involved.
Route so far is
Norway
Sweden
Finland
Russia
Estonia
Latvia
Ferry to Sweden
Denmark
Any help much appreciated.

Hi, if you decide to go through Lithuania, I can help with planning off-road trip. I have the off road maps of Lithuania. Here are a lot of fire roads and forest roads, no mountains are here. If time of you trip will be convenient for me and my friends, and if you like that, we can escort you through Lithuania.

That may be an option, I'll check out how it fits in a route and get back to you.

Many thanks, Rob
